Job Description

Electrical Engineering Department Manager

Location: Greenville, SC (or Granite Falls, MN)
Employment Type: Full-Time | Immediate Need

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineering Department Manager to lead a growing electrical engineering team and drive technical excellence, project delivery, and strategic business growth. This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for a seasoned engineer who thrives in a consulting environment, enjoys mentoring teams, and excels in delivering innovative solutions for industrial and process-driven clients.
About the Opportunity
You will lead and manage a developing team (initially 2–3 engineers/designers, with plans for department expansion), serve as a technical authority, and play a key role in both project execution and client engagement. This role offers the chance to shape department culture, refine engineering processes, and contribute directly to business development in a company known for its client-first, employee-owner environment.
Key Responsibilities
  • Lead, mentor, and grow an electrical engineering team to ensure high-quality project delivery.
  • Serve as a subject-matter expert for industrial electrical engineering across diverse project types.
  • Oversee electrical design requirements from conceptual development through construction, including:
  • Control schematics, wiring diagrams, single-line drawings, and motor diagrams.
  • Power/conduit plans, cable schedules, and equipment layouts.
  • Specifications for 15 kV, 4160 V, 480 V systems, substations, MCCs, VFDs, transformers, and switchgear.
  • Lighting and grounding systems.
  • Process control loop sheets, cable tray routing, proposals, and cost estimates.
  • Short Circuit and Arc Flash analysis.
  • Manage multidisciplinary teams and coordinate closely with clients, contractors, and stakeholders.
  • Ensure compliance with QA/QC procedures and electrical codes/standards (NEC, IEEE, NFPA, IEC).
  • Support field assessments, site visits, and construction-phase services.
  • Cultivate client relationships and contribute to business development and proposal efforts.
  • Champion continuous improvement initiatives, standardization, and best practices across the department.
  • Assist with recruitment, development, and retention of top engineering talent.
    Required Qualifications
    • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program.
    • 15+ years of progressive experience in industrial electrical design.
    • 5+ years of leadership and/or project management experience.
    • Active Professional Engineer (PE) License.
    • Proven experience leading engineering teams, mentoring staff, and managing client relationships.
    • Background in power, energy, biofuels, oil & gas, pulp & paper, or related process industries.
    • Strong communication skills: verbal, written, and client presentation.
    • Solid project management capabilities including budgeting, forecasting, and scheduling.
    • Entrepreneurial mindset with a client-first, growth-oriented approach.
    Preferred Qualifications
    • Proficiency in ETAP, AutoCAD, NavisWorks (BIM 360).
    • Experience with MEP projects is also acceptable, especially with industrial crossover.
    Why This Role Stands Out
    • Join a respected multi-disciplinary engineering organization known for innovation and client dedication.
    • Influence the growth and direction of a developing department.
    • Work on diverse, complex projects across industrial and process-driven markets.
    • Be part of a collaborative culture rooted in engineering excellence and employee ownership.
    Please send your resume to hmccormick@selectek.net for consideration.
